The Most Embarrassing Ball Boy and Ball Girl Fails

They are there to lend a hand to help collect all the loose balls from delaying a sporting event, yet ball boys and girls don't always do their jobs to perfection.

And we shouldn't be too surprised by that.

With baseballs screaming toward them in foul territory, tennis balls bouncing crazily out of their reach and the action sometimes moving too fast to keep up with, it can be difficult to do a job well done.

Since not all of them can be as spry as Kramer, here are the most embarrassing ball boy and ball girl fails from sporting events.

Give a Ball, Win a Date

After being razzed by some of the members of the Oakland A's bullpen before the game, ball boy Kevin Fennell found out that, sometimes, ballplayers know best.

Handing each foul ball that came his way to one special fan all night, Kevin was able to land both a hug and what appeared to be a peck on the cheek. He also landed a date with the girl, named Jacki Lynch.

It's a Slippery Slope

The only saving grace for this ball boy was that the surface he just happened to slide on was grass, meaning he wasn't left with as many scrapes and bruises as he would have been had he done this on a hard or clay court.
